Platform independence

XForms has been designed to be platform independent, and processors for different devices are emerging. For example, organisations such as IBM are working on the use of voice with XForms, allowing the same form to be used unchanged on both a desktop PC and a touch-tone phone system.

x-port have a number of initiatives underway in this area, ranging from the user of voice prompts in forms, through to the development of Pocket PC and Mac versions of formsPlayer.
